Hazards in Daily Life? Enabling Robots to Proactively Detect and Resolve Anomalies

Understand

Existing household robots have made significant progress in performing routine tasks, such as cleaning floors or delivering objects.

• However, a key limitation of these robots is their inability to recognize potential problems or dangers in home environments.
• For example, a child may pick up and ingest medication that has fallen on the floor, posing a serious risk.
• We argue that household robots should proactively detect such hazards or anomalies within the home, and propose the task of anomaly scenario generation.
